Ride of Silence tomorrow at 7:00pm

May
19

The Westchester Cycle Club will be part of the “Ride of Silence” an international event to honor cyclists killed and injured while riding on public roadways.

Meet for the ride at 6:30 Wednesday, May 20th at 975 Central Park Avenue (Midway Shopping Center) in Scarsdale. The eight-mile ride will begin at 7:00pm with a police escort as it heads to White Plains on Battle Avenue and return the same way.

The idea of this ride is to go slow and silent the whole way to raise awareness of cycling. The maximum speed for these rides around the world is 12mph. The ride will be rain or shine.

My weekly B+ ride will slow down at 7:00pm for a minute and ride in silence.
